[Manga Dub] I was fired for incompetence despite being a genius... [RomCom]

Film & Animation


Introduction

In a bustling office, Rui Hamamatsu, a high school graduate, takes on a role that's often underestimated by his peers. Despite his position at a prominent company, Rui is tasked with menial duties, a point of disdain for many of his co-workers. Some even refer to him as "deadweight" due to his unconventional background. He finds joy in watching his colleagues work and socialize rather than focusing on his own limitations.

One day, Rui is asked to prepare tea for his co-workers, a task befitting his perceived status. His colleagues speculate about his lack of qualifications, questioning whether he is the boss's son or got in through connections. However, unbeknownst to them, Rui is more than meets the eye. He has a unique bond with an AI called Toa-chan, which he helped develop during his time at the company. This AI efficiently handles many tasks, processing documents and managing schedules.

As Rui cleans out files in the storage area, a new employee named Shirayuki Shiro learns about his situation. She defends Rui against a boastful executive’s grandson, which leads to a confrontation where Rui, ever patient, accepts his status without complaint. He even encourages Shirayuki to focus on her work rather than worry about him.

However, when Rui is transferred to an affiliate company due to the antics of the executive's grandson, Shirayuki learns of his true genius and what he contributed to the company's success. Toa-chan, who was created to support office tasks and monitor workplace dynamics, suddenly becomes non-responsive after Rui's transfer, causing chaos in the office.

As Shirayuki contemplates the situation, it's revealed that Rui's connections are far more influential than she realized. Actions taken against Rui result in a confrontation with corporate executives, including Irumi Kicho, a granddaughter of the company's president. She reveals Rui's true talent and how he originally joined the company out of necessity rather than privilege. After some revelations and a lot of gossip, Rui is reinstated, and office dynamics shift once more in his favor, aligning with those who appreciate his true worth.

In the end, Rui's co-workers, especially Shirayuki, acknowledge his contributions and the unfairness of their previous judgments. As they start to build stronger relationships, the AI and office employees learn to appreciate each other, paving the way for a fresh start.
